Profile in Baltimore Jewish Times

This article, from a local Jewish newspaper, focuses on a public art project I'm proposing for Baltimore—one of a series of artist-designed crab sculptures to be placed around the city. The title: "Oy Vay Reasoning." Review of "Look, Now Look All Around", Baltimore City Paper

From the article: "What Ms. Foer really wants to do is build a crustacean. And wrap it in Chinese restaurant menus. And sprinkle it with kosher salt.... In her mind, Chinese food has always been a symbol of American Jewish ambivalence toward non-kosher food." Accordingly, the crab will be holding a can of the titular spice mix—a many-layered pun on "Old Bay Seasoning."

Mail Art: Walls, at West Virginia Wesleyan College

My drawing, "Obstructed View," is featured in this online gallery of mail art. The postcard-sized drawing is based on an earlier large-scale piece, itself inspired by a dream in which I was wearing a burkah (the head covering Afghani women are required to wear). I later tried on a burkah, and was moved by the experience of having one's area of vision so restricted—the everyday experience of many Afghani and other Moslem women.

Mail Art, at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art

A collage of mine, featured in this show at the museum's "virtual gallery," explores spiritual and mathematical expressions of infinity. The Hebrew words "l'olam va'ed" ("forever and ever") are part of the Shema, the most basic prayer in Judaism. The mobius strip is a mathematical symbol for infinity. The text represents mathematical proofs for the determing the existence of infinity.

This site explains several ways to mathematically determine the existence of infinity. Religion has been trying to do this for thousands of years, of course. Much of my fine art work explores issues of infinity from both scientific and religious perspectives.
